Tibetan Earth Lords

In Tibetan astrology and geomancy the Sa-Dak are the spirits that surround and protect a particular place, the lords of that land — the Earth Lords.

In the Tibetan and Chinese traditions, every place — that is: every mountain, stream, and canyon — is something more than just the sum of its physical parts plus whatever beauty it may or may not possess. There are living forces in particular directions and vital forces embedded in the way things have come together to make each place what it is. In other words, Tibetans believe there are such things indwelling nature spirits — whatever you want to call them.

This is why Feng Shui is so popular in these countries and much consulted. These Tibetan Earth Lords are similar to Feng Shui in that particular Earth Lords arise and control different geographic directions for varying lengths of time. Tibetans pay close attention to these Earth Lords and take great care not to offend them. This book describes and illustrates over 100 of the Tibetan Earth Lords and charts when these entities arise, in what direction, and for how long.

Tibetan Earth Lords is also included as a chapter in Tibetan Astrology.
